Regarding the state of emergency, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to request the government to re-extend the infection on the 26th, saying that the confirmation of infection in Tokyo has not yet reached a high level.
The state of emergency issued to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has entered an extension period from May 12, and will expire at the end of May.
On the 26th, the capital will request the government to re-extend this.
Although the number of confirmed infections in Tokyo is decreasing, the average number of people for 7 days until the 25th is as high as 600 people, and while the epidemic is being replaced by a highly infectious mutant virus, the city will be able to cancel the declaration for a short period of time. I am strongly concerned that it will start to increase again.
Governor Koike told reporters on the 26th, "Although the cooperation of restaurants and cultural facilities has produced a certain effect, it has not yet been settled, and the progress of vaccination is also taken into consideration. Must be. "
On the afternoon of the 26th, the capital will hold a meeting to listen to the opinions of experts to analyze the infection situation, and in the evening, hold an online meeting with the three prefectures of Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa to take measures to control the infection. I will consider it.
